Isabel Dacre )〕 was an English artist of the Victorian era.〔Deborah Cherry, ''Painting Women: Victorian Women Artists'', London, Routledge, 1993.〕 She was born in Leamington, Warwickshire, and was educated at a convent school in Salford. For the decade of 1858–68 she lived in Paris, first attending school and later working as a governess. After a winter in Italy (1869), she returned to Paris, and was present during the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune. She returned to England in 1871 and began studying art at the Manchester School of Art, where she won the Queen's Prize in 1875. She began a lifelong friendship with fellow artist Annie Swynnerton; the two women pursued their art studies in Rome and Paris between 1874 and 1880. Around 1872, Lord Leighton dictated notes and observations on his methods of painting and composing his pictures to Isabel Dacre, during a stay on the island of Capri. ==Portraits and the Académie Julian == From 1877-1880 she was in Paris at the Académie Julian with a fellow - pupil Marie Bashkirtseff and bracketed with her as first in the concourse mentioned in the famous diary. Dacre was associated with Julian’s atelier on two different occasions: 1878-1879 when she completed a striking black and white chalk drawing, ''Portrait of a Young Girl in a Satin Cap,'' ca. 1879, which is owned by the Andre Del Debbio Collection, Paris. Later she accomplished several works that gained her entry to the Paris Salon. For example, her Salon entry in 1881 was a portrait: ''Portrait of Mme. F.W. '' (no 579.) 〔Gabriel P Weisberg and Jane Becker, ''Overcoming All Obstacles The Women Of The Academie Julian,'' NJ, Rutgers University Press, 1999, ''Gabriel P Weisberg,'' p.p. 24-25.〕 Manchester Art Gallery own a poignant oil painting ''Italian Women In Church.''Throughout her career her portraits were admired in Italy, England and Paris.
